Bringing Science into Strength & Conditioning

Coaches & athletes under tremendous pressure
• Athletes need to perform
• Coaches need to win
• Sports teams need to make money
Skills and Teamwork only achieve so much
• Athletes must have basis of strength, power, endurance
• Strength & Conditioning is Empirical - Not optimized
Athletes never realize their full potential
Coaches win less than they should
Athletes
Training program
Coaches
Evaluation
1RM
• Only one metric for athletes, 1RM.• Only two training parameters.
I = Intensity = %1RM “how hard”V = Volume “how much”
• All athletes follow identical program!
Standard off-season training
Convenient, but ….. one size fits … none!
Current Empirical Approach

Evaluation
1RM
• Velocity• Acceleration• Number of reps• Time under tension• Work• Etc……
Hundreds of Training Parameters!
Critical parameters and metrics are ignored!
• 1RM• 5RM, 10RM,….• Static strength, Eccentric strength• Velocity at specific forces• Force at specific velocities• Etc……
Many possible metrics of Athlete
Current Empirical Approach
Why? Missing theoryMissing data
Resistance to change
Empirical approaches developed over 50 years ago still persist today either as Excel worksheets or hidden beneath the fancy graphics of todays training software.
ErgoSensePro provides a completely new approach to developing strength and power based training programs
Solution:
Athletes
Training program
Coaches
1RM
Evaluationothermetrics
ESP Approach uses the empirical approach as a first step
and measures key athlete performance metrics in addition to the 1RM.

ESP Approach evaluates the training program
For the proposed training program the ESP algorithm generates performance indices related to strength, power, work production, etc.

ESP Approach determines a performance matrix
Performance matrix predicts the response to the training program of each athlete and identifies the top performer(s).

ESP Approach determines a performance matrix
Performance matrix permits detailed comparisons and identification of those lagging in specific performance indices, e.g., strength, power, work.

ESP Approach provides information to the coach
Information is provided to the coach which can be used to evaluate and adjust the training program with the help of ESP.
